https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VuJTqmpBnI0 (Beauty and the Beast- Gaston “the Man”- The world tells us that to be a man we have to be like Gaston. Strong, good looking, skilled, have girls falling at our feet etc. Even the Disney movie Beauty and the Beast portray a manly man in this manner. Larry Crab, famous author, says, “The only way to be manly is to be Godly,” and being Godly looks extremely different than how most men act today. To be Godly is to live a life modeled after Jesus, who freely gave to all of us by sacrificially coming to earth to give himself away, so that through him we may have life. Now, that is MANLY! Giving our life away to others, instead of taking, and trying to live out the life of a “man” that this world portrays.

“There is a way that seems right to man, but in the end it leads to death”- Proverbs 14:12

The pack was ready to get going this AM with several new FNGs in the house to take on their first F3 workout. The PAX hung tough on the LAX field, even in some dark and gloomy conditions and chased after the stars to complete a great DORA workout. Cardiac Hill never disappoints, but only doing it once this morning was a slight tease, more to come later at the next Bandwagon Beatdown!

Talked about my 9 Yr old asking me who I love more, him or God! It really threw me off guard when he asked that and I told him that I loved him more than God not knowing how to answer that questions without hurting his feelings or simply, I was not sure… My son told me that can’t be because God made us and that I should love God more. “WOW”!!!!!

Simple but Effective

Our core was the theme this morning. We worked on our physical core and so we discussed and reflected on what is our mental and spiritual core. Encouraged the PAX to think about what their purpose is in life and to think about what drives us to do what we do each and every day?  We all get in a routine and stay busy, but what is it that we are trying to accomplish in our lifetime? What impacts are we having and who are we impacting? Are we here to build up a 401k nest egg and retire in Florida and have a little while dog and walk on the beach?

Prayer request for a friend/coworker of Frosty. The coworkers daughter has been saved and getting baptized and it’s convicting the rest of the family who is going through some tough challenges. Please lift them up in your prayers.

1 Chronicles 28:20—The Lord declares us to be strong and courageous and to act. We are often paralyzed by fear of failure and expectations and it keeps us from acting. The Lord promises He will be with us until the completion of the service of His kingdom. Our actions serve his Kingdom, and we have to be courageous in order to be HIMs for His kingdom. We are like Peter trying to walk on water. When we take our focus off of His constant support, we lose our courage and we begin to falter, unable to serve Him. It is our honor to be apart of His story and to serve His kingdom. All we have to do is be courageous and act.

PAX came in ready to work and started off hump day right with some sprinting and a mix of workouts. Finished the day crushing the hill while carrying coupons together as a group. Finishing the 11s on the hill could not have been done alone, and the PAX came together to encourage each other through a tough workout. Woodshack finished it off with a new brutal ab workout, the “Never Cross Dolly”.
